UNIMAGINABLE DISCOVERY Along Lehigh Canal Trail (GOOGLE MAPS Return)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- The Investigation continues on the Google Maps Finds that I located along the Lehigh Canal Trail. During my first visit, some areas weren't too accessible or visible, so I vowed to return during the winter time to see what else I can find and to gain access to those grown in areas, which includes a type of tunnel. I decided to take one of my Ebikes for this little adventure and although it was chilly out, I had the trail to myself and I was not disappointed by my findings.

Thanks for coming along for another adventure with me!
Were you suprised as I was by what the inside was like?
Been by there hundreds of times on my bike and never stopped to explore that. I may have to check it out! Thanks for doing it for us. Always amazes me the stuff you find.
It would be neat to rescue that concrete communication booth, restore it somehow.
That’s a spillway for the canal. It’s what keeps the water flowing down stream. Other locks have them too. Check out the next down stream lock, it’s the same way.
Each time there is a shot of you walking away, my brain stops. Many video makers do this for effect but my brain knows you already explored, decided to make that walk a shot so you turned around to set up the camera, walked again ahead, then had to turn around to retrieve your camera in order to once again continue walking ahead. I get why you guys do this but my brain cannot NOT think of the illogic of it all.
It seems like a waste of time to me.
all i can say is wow you never know whats hidding in plain site . and that tunnel looks like a run off or a discharge for the canal,
Love the premier videos! Order a pizza, sit back and relax.
Miss information on the phone box, they were railroad only, connected to the code line poles and connected to depots and RR yards, Mines did NOT have the infrastructure for that.
You and your and your daughter should do a cross country road trip to Disneyland in LA or florida or universal studios or magic mountain or notsberry farm or the santamonica pier in LA OK from your friend Betsy in Medford Oregon OK
Yeah me and my dog do it.I like looking for new strippen pits water holes .I know of 6.
That was a neat find
Great as always JP. I laughed at the "seen one, seem 'em all" comment about the canal locks. I've been really enjoying Cliff's (The Wandering Woodsman) Union Canal series. The history and trying to cover every bit of it really does end up being interesting.
Just wanted to tell you again that I thought this was an incredible adventure and very interesting! The tunnel or culvert is amazing and you found some cool items along the way, like that neat old phone booth, would be cool to see that restored! Thank you again JP, awesome video!
I was so excited to find out what it was. Thanks for being at the premiere as well.
What an amazing find.
Awsome discovery, Jay. I also think that tunnel was for pedestrian/ workers for safe passage under the rail bed.
👍
I think so too
That Corgi was soo adorbs! 🤗
Be careful and stay safe never know what may be there underthere 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking forward to another adventure !💙👍
"Grab your fleshlight and come with me!"
"I feel like a prairie dog!" -- Lol!!😄I laughed so hard at that one! Best adventure yet, Jay, because I could tell you were having so much fun! 😁Awesome tunnel -- I was surprised at how tall the arched ceiling was. Nice hike along the trail, too. Love these outdoor explores. Thanks for bringing us along!❤
I’ll have to ask my cousin. I’m sure she knows. My family is from the Lehigh Valley. Also have friends in Jim Thorpe.
This was amazing Jay, you did an awesome job on this adventure 💙💙 I enjoyed it lots!!!
Thank you, I appreciate you so much for all you do on your channel 💙💙
Take care & stay safe out there!!!
Much love ❤️
May God bless you ❤️❤️
Yes i was surprised thanks for the video i enjoyed watching
Growing up in Southern California, aka Land of the Earthquakes, this video has me a little nervous. You are brave!
The tunnel was used for venetian (sp) boats....lol
I got my flashlight in hand…. Let’s Go
🔦😁😊
Holes in the roof must have been light passages, just like open holes in the roof for light to come in so you could see in the day with natural daylight, rocks and dirt must have collapsed on top trough the years blocking the light from coming in anymore
Someone should pull that out....
Also love to find out what that tunnel was used for. I'm sure it went deeper down.
Thank you for the video, some very cool engineering and history.
Kind of a boring video. No way a rock wall will move and create a ruler straight line break and a rock lined cavity.
Darn it, i need to charge my flashlight! 🔦💡🕯️🏮
I waited till you went in the tunnel to comment on it. My best guess it was for passage of water. 20:00. My second guess it was for mules or people. I don't know why they would need it.
This was a very interesting place to explore. What happened to the water in the canal? Thanks for sharing.
I herd you say keep your head on a swivel. I herd that before from some old football coaches in the Wilkes-Barre area.
judging from the holes in the top, I'd say the tunnel was for some sort of narrow gauge railroad.
Newport has the same things all along the railroad track
The tunnel was probably for cows to pass under the tracks. Back in the day, it was likely pasture on both sides but today its wooded.
Loved the intro ! ...Glad you included.the old photos along with present day shots .. ! The stacked stone walls of the canal are awesome and the tunnel is amazing ..a cool find for sure. I always like the b-rolls and the editing is first class as always ..another fun adventure !😊💙👍👍👍
Thanks for being at the premiere
very cool adventure! im wondering if those notches in the ceiling of the tunnel were for lanterns originally. they may have been hung from the ceiling and vented through those holes. just a guess, but it didnt appear to have any lantern mounts on the wall.
If that's right, there might be ruins of a home where the "lamp lighter " lived nearby.
I wonder if the concrete "x" would have been the phone booth location?
Maybe those niches in the tunnel walls are air shafts🤷🏻♀️
JP I want to say thank you for bringing me on this awesome exploration, a lot of excellent finds. 👍👍👍
My pleasure
I remember one of those concrete phone booths along the right of way at mud run
Ok, this has me intrigued!
coal to heat them,,,, "how many lumps do you want"? "ohhhh tree or four" lol
So cool, so long, so grateful. Thanks
Can you give us a quick shot of how it was the last time you were here?
Thanks for another great adventure. I miss the days when you did videos with your wife and daughter. I hope they are doing well.
✝️🙏🏼💟
Central California watching
Hi JP ... I like your videos. In this video @ about 7:55 when you are approaching the cement cross buck ... there is a real text book of a deer rub.. Do you hunt ? I know PA has decent deer. Thanks for the great quality content.
I've been watching this channel and finally did "hit" that SURVIVE button.
I'm not a hunter, but thanks for pointing it out.
Great job on RUclips videos in 4K
can you imagine how much that phone booth thing weighs? prolly a machine pushed it over the edge
Yes, easily a few thousand pounds
Where is This? There is a Lehigh Canal & now trails that run along the canal where I live in Florida. Lehigh Portland Cement Company used to have a plant that used the canal then later RR tracks that ran along side the canal.
Jim thorpe Pennsylvania
Amazing job and good heath 👍😎📹
this was awesome jp thanks for sharing this video of returning to this and the canal pretty sweet :D
Glad you enjoyed it
Thats pretty cool!
You should check out thee abandoned Highview Mt tunnel from the NYSOandW rail road in Wurtsboro NY. Abandoned in 1958 . Off of old route 17m.
@ 25:00 it's Punxsutawney JP and he didn't see his own shadow! Early spring this year! 🌦️☘️🌱🌞🌈🌷🌹🌺🌻🍓🐝🐇🏵️💐🦆🪲🪱🪺🪴☔
Jay,
I would think the Canal and the Mules predated the railroad. so no tunnel was needed .
A people path, after the railway was constructed, more likely.
The Wandering Woodsman has been exploring the Union Canal which has less complete but some more finished stone canal walls.
I'm going to read about and research this canal now that you shown it too us!
Thanks good guy:)
RIK
If anyone goes during the warmer weather be very careful. The rattlesnakes LOVE to make dens in those rock walls. I've had 2 very close calls and numerous spottings all along there.
Wow! Incredibly interesting thanks for taking us along 😊
Right behind you Jason,lead the way.Thanks for the great adventure, if you get any info. on the tunnel let us know.👍
You got it
@@JPVideos81 Thanks
Awesome find. Tunnels are my favorite
Dark and kinda creepy. Just how I like it.
nice one JP ...
Are you walking in the canal or below the wall of it?
Both
This was for sure a cool area all the history of those canals ....those stacked stones where really cool !! The little tunnel for people was really old and incredible condition ...just shows how well things were made back then really cool exploration and great video as always !! 👍👍 i really liked those pictures at the end also !!
The tunnel @ 21:00 is spectacular! It's also in pretty good shape, no signs of deterioration. Nice find, JP !
a really cool adventure, great to see any explores in the different seasons...i don't have a clue as to what the tunnel was used for. A mystery for sure take care, waiting for the next adventure.
Hey JP👋, that was a cool trail experience. The tunnel was definitely a cool place to see. Thanks for sharing
Big 👍
Wow! That tunnel was an amazing find! Once again you've found some surprising stuff along a trail that I thought I knew well. I would agree with your guess that the tunnel was a manway under the tracks. Currently the tracks going over the bridge are one Norfolk-Southern track and one Reading & Northern track (the one closest to the river). I believe both of these tracks used to be CNJ. There's usually only one NS train per day that passes through there, going from Hazelton to Lehighton and back in the middle of the night. Reading & Northern uses their track for railcar storage and occasional charter trips. The tracks across the river are both former Lehigh Valley Railroad lines. Reading & Northern uses them now for railcar storage and for "hiding" some of the long excursion trains from Reading and Pottsville while the passengers are enjoying the town. Anyway, I could ramble on about the railroads all day, but thanks for showing us more of what's back there. I do need to get out more in the winter to see these things when they are more visible and accessible.
Thanks for the info on the tracks. I'm surprised how much is along this trail. I bet there's to be discovered.
So that is what tunnel vision feels like.
👀
❤️ 💙
This was amazing find. The booth and the tunnel. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Awesome find, i love exploring with you
That was an outstanding tunnel. Love this video!!!!
Just wondering what do you do with your electric bike when you take it on a journey like this. Man I wouldn't take mine and leave it and walk like you are doing. Hope you have a friend watching it. This is Pa. you know. Any how I am surprised you use one, and I may just look up this trail and take my bike and my dogs up there.
I locked it up at the places I stopped. Plus there was no one else on the trail on this chilly morning.
Keep up the investigation thanks JP great video
Whoa. So glad you answered my questions on FB and sent me to the video. I never expected that huge tunnel! The whole video was great, but that tunnel was beyond what I expected. Thanks for taking us with you!
Any time!
I absolutely love all the history there. It blows my mind how architectural beauty's are sitting in the woods like that. So cool! I agree with you about the tunnel. It's not really tall enough for anything else except for maybe the first cars ever built. Amazing and thanks for taking us along on the journey to explore. I learn so much. ✌
😊💙
Awesome adventure JP! I've been waiting for the return to that spot ! I was very surprised! I was just expecting it to be a short culvert and it turned out to be a great tunnel! Awesome! Thanks for bringing us along!
The Return was very much worth it and exceeded my expectations.
Your return was certainly rewarding 😊
There's also one of those concrete huts along the former Laurel Line in Moosic near the former Rocky Glen Park that I think you focused on in a prior video.
That one is strictly a culvert. I don't believe this was used for water, but could be wrong
You just keep coming out with some great videos. Very interesting!
Thank you.
Thanks for enjoying the content
Great adventure, awesome tunnel. Got a laugh at the groundhog scene 🎬.
🦫😁
It's unusual that that tunnel was not identified and noted on the trail by a sign or plaque. I also think it was some sort of pedestrian tunnel.
I was hoping there'd be a sign, but it adds to the mystery.
There’s a reason you are the first channel I subscribed to 😊😊
Always happy, enjoying life and sharing it all with us! Great videos and and even greater host! 💙
Pictures were amazing, and you don’t skimp on details of the subject of the videos!
Wow, thank you!
@@JPVideos81 yvw 😊
I'd go camping there
You might have some company of animals and bugs haha
@@JPVideos81 I've been camping since the age of 10.. I've got some bushcrafting skills I'm no master of it.. bugs and animals don't bother me..
That tunnel was cool J. It’s amazing what you can see, and get to, with no vegetation.
Makes a world of difference in the winter time with how much is visible
Cool video JP thanks
That concert cross with the holes is part of a precast foundation for RR signals or crossing lights
Concrete
Spectacular amazing
Thank you for this video I really do look forward to seeing you do find
Thanks for watching!
Cool tunnel! Nice to see that it wasn't tagged or vandalized.
That's almost a rare thing these days
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💙💙😊
love watching your videos but the amount of ads made me stop watching... ive noticed i get waaaay more ads on the channels i watch most and hardly ever on the ones i dont watch much. ive unsubscribed to a lot of my channels for the ad problem. 2 ads in the first few minutes of watching is the first indicator of a lot so im out. sorry but the ads take up extra time when we could be watching the actual video... they make it hard on you guys with them. it just drags the videos out making them even longer and about impossible to watch some videos altogether ugh..
I understand your frustration. If I can explain. RUclips places ads before every video (sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes skippable). As a creator, we have no control over those ads. For ads during the video, we have control as to how many there are and where they are placed. I almost always make it so there's not more than 1 ad within a 10min span. So if it's a 30min video, I insert 3 ads. Lastly, for people like myself who do this for a living, ads is how we get paid so taking away ads would ultimately hurt the creator and limit how much content they make. Hope that helps and thanks for expressing your concern.
Jp I have been watching for years and never miss a video and I'll say you have lost ton of weight and look great!! Keep on keeping on!!
Thanks!
